[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nancy Kerrigan is far from the perfect virginal image given her by the press.  She was nasty to Oksana Baiul, a peevish brat in the Disney parade, and, most disgustingly, started her affair with Jerry Solomon while he was still married to wife No. 2.

America is the lane of 2nd chances and Harding deserves this chance.  Rapists athletes get their 2nd Chances and so should she.[/quote]

Were you even born during this time? Nancy Kerrigan wasn't putting herself out there in documentaries like Tonya Harding did. There was a black ice skate too. Debbie Thomas, and life hasn't been great for her. Why not a movie about her life?

Tonya has consistently played the victim for sympathy. S[b]he was the first woman in ice skating history to perform the triple axel. [/b]She was strong, but a bit masculine looking. She was changing the sport.  That was really what a lot of the Old Guard didn't like about her. She could have focused on that aspect of the story instead of playing the victim. Women figure skating was more about making figure-8s in the ice, not jumping up in the air and doing triple jumps.

No.  The first woman to land a triple axel in competition was Midori Ito in 1988.  Harding was the first American woman to do so. [/quote]
